Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Got My Car Back From The Upholstery ShopYesterday

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Ralph the quality of the work far exceeded my expectations and 650$ for
the final price was a pleasant surprise too, I figured 1000$. He always
has high end cars in the shop like Porche's, Audie's, BMW's and so on.
Right now he has a 67 Firebird convert for a complete interior and new
top and also a 57 T-Bird convert for a top. It was well worth the 5
month wait for him to do the job. How did you make out on the Concord
AMX rear flairs on eBay? I saw the auction over with out it reaching the
reserve.

And people say there isn't anything like Santa Claus and a delayed
Christmas present. Glad to hear about them Doc!!!

Now if you can only convince that guy to move to Minnesota, I've got
some work for him :-))
